Ain't it Funny

Aside from Celine Dion, J.Lo is also  one of my favorite artists.  Ain't it funny is one of her music videos that I like.  The lyrics remind me of someone I knew then.  You may play and sing to it, the lyrics is below the video.

Estoy
Loca
Enamorada
De ti

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives
We can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I'd live a thousand lives
Each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real

Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't wanna face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
A deeper love I've found in you
And I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't wanna face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be....

GrandPap, Grandson, Granddaughter

I am so Glad that my kids are so close with their GrandPap.  They always asks us to Go and visit Dad everyday.

I am Grateful that my father-in-law  Goes with us whenever we invite him to Go somewhere.  The photos below  were taken at my  BIL's  residence a couple f week's ago.

This coming Sept. 11, Grandparents Day will be celebrated  at our Church.  We invited  Dad to  come with us during the  mass.  Advance happy GRANDPARENTS day to all the  paps and Nanas in the world.

Presenting the GrandPap, Grandson, and Granddaughter enjoying the plunge in the swimming pool.

Wolverine

I was given an opportunity to receive another free costume for my kids in return of an honest review of the costume. This time it's for my son and I chose the wolverine costume for him.  He was so happy when I got the package and immediately  tried it on.

As with our daughter's costume, the fit was good and my son said that it was very comfortable.  WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com is the place to go for all your costume needs.  They offer a huge assortment of quality costumes for just about any occasion, even when it means saving the world from a super villain.

From their exciting boys superhero costumes to their dazzling princess costumes, the smile on the kid's face says it all.  They also have a large selection of adult costumes that will surely make the bigger kids a hit at any party. What separates them, from other online stores, is that they offer wholesale prices, so if your shopping list includes multiple costumes, you can save big bucks.

Wolverine Origins Costume displayed proudly by my son.  He is so proud and excited that it makes me wish that I could be a kid again, running through the house, keeping the world safe from evil.  I'm very grateful that my kids have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of thing.  My siblings and I never experienced this type of fun while growing up abroad hehehe.

So for this year's Halloween, our Burritos will be wearing a supergirl and  wolverine costume.  Our daughter  asked us if we  could  wear a costume too during  Halloween.  I didn't really give it much thought at first but since the kids asked, I may order a costume as well.  There is still plenty of time to figure out what I'll be for Halloween.  

International Long Distances

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's been a month since I last talked to my Mother on the phone.  The weather in the region where my Mother lives is  not so good  especially that they are having storm right now.   Whenever the sea is so  rough, the signal of the cell phone there at our place is  very weak so it is almost impossible to call my Mother.    I am worried  whenever I couldn't contact them because I don't know what is going on.  I am sure that our telephone bill next month will be expensive because of the one-hour  international  call I've made last month.  My husband and I are talking of  getting me a cell phone  that I could use to communicate with my  family back home.   I think that Straight Talk  could provide  everything you need including text messaging, local and international calls, and web surfing.

With the Straight Talks "All You Need Plan", you can call a friend anytime you want  and not worry  about excessive cost.  When it comes to  budgeting the  monthly expenses,  mom knows best  where to cut cost so as a Mom, I am determined to lower our  monthly telephone bills through Straight Talk.  Below are some of real customer's testimonials.

Backyard Fun

We  spent our afternoon at our yard a couple of days ago.  The wind was cool and the kids  just want to hang out  and play.  

My kids definitely love outdoors.  It's a bummer that in few more weeks, the cold weather will be here again.

Even Champ love it so much that he did not attempt to run away.

The cool wind was making me sleepy so I tried to catch a small zzzs but  Ms. Burrito climbed  and  laid in my tummy lol.

My Burritos love each other but most of the times they love to tease each other.  The photos below rarely happens hahaha.  These were take  beside our neighbor's house.

Have a good weekend everyone!

The Cellphone that Puts You In Control

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Watching the testimonial  videos of the real TracFone customers on youtube gives me a idea on what  I should get when I am ready to buy my cell phone.  Hubby and I  found a  good deal on cell phone at one of the ads that walmart  has sent out through the newspaper's inclusion.  The said deal will be available this weekend so we are planning to check it out.   Hubby still have four more months with his cell phone contract and we  can't wait till it's over.  He has been paying a monthly bill of  45-50  dollars a month and for me that is too much considering that the plan does not come with text and other feature.

What I like about the Tracfone is the fact that it has so many features that you can enjoy for a very affordable price.  You can enjoy the calling and texting capabilities  for under $10.  According to the real TracFone customers, it has an excellent reception so  you don't have to worry about connectivity. Please watch out the  video below  to get an idea of what I am talking about.

Returned Gift - Nostalgia # 67

My entry  this week is not  old but  a brand new thing to share but of course it has something to do with my experiences in the past hehehe.

I would like to quote what Ate Imriz have said in her comment for last week's nostalgia. "you'll meet more friends but i tell u, most of them were JUST MERE ACQUAINTANCES"...so if ever u find true one, HOLD ON TIGHTLY. :)

So what my entry this week has to do with that?  Ate Imriz  is right,  sometimes we think that  the people we thought  our "friends" are just merely acquaintances.  Before we went for a vacation, I sent someone  a virtual gift card for  birthday but for some unavoidable circumstances, (we went to a uniform place to pick up our daughter's uniform that day), we were not able to  attend the party and  the said gift was sent back to me.  I did not even know that the person sent it back because I did not recognize the  email address and that there isn't any note to it.  Anyhow, when I received the email, I thought that the store where I ordered the gift card  just sent me a copy,  but when I saw the gift code and pin number , I knew then that the email  wasn't from the store.

I really don't want to say anything about it because  I am not the type of person that would rant  NEGA stuff  over here but enough is enough.   I have read so many crap  already and  making us the bad guys  is the thing I can't accept as we did not do anything  bad except missed to attend the  gathering.  I did not know that not attending a party is a crime that could cause  some people to be mad at you.

Do you  get mad when you invite someone and they don't show up? I don't,  because I know that no matter their reasons are, it's their call not yours and you have to understand that.  That is friendship is all about.     So sorry guys but I have to let  this one out from my chest. I considered them friends but if they can't understand that my family's needs  is my  priority,  then so be it.  I wouldn't force anyone to like me in anyway.  I am who I am, and if you can't accept that, it's your problem not mine.

On the bright side of it, I got a new digital album. I picked it up today at the store.

Tech Careers

My knowledge and skills with computer is very limited.  How I wish that I could have took a  computer science course  rather than commerce .  There are  so many Computer Operator Jobs available nowadays that if you are knowledgeable with computer, you would be able to  get the job so easily.  As long as you have a hands-on knowledge with this  field of work, you can find a job just about anywhere you look.

Ferryboat Ride

There are two ways to go to Magic Kingdom, either by Monorail or by Ferryboat. We rode the monorail most of the times but we also tried the Ferryboat twice.

It was very relaxing  because you get to see beautiful  views.

he kids loved it and so are we.  It was just so unfortunate that there are two unruly kids  that kept screaming and cussing.  I think the kids were only 6 or 7 years old.  The Mom had a wooden spoon with her but  she couldn't do anything about her kids.  I fe3lt so terrible when one of the kids told her Mom "You disgust me!"  It was like a sharp knife to me.

I am so thankful that both my kids and my friends daughter are very disciplined.  They did not have any problems at all.  I just did not want them to hear those harsh words that's coming form the kid's filthy mouth.

Other than dealing with those  misbehaved kids, our  Ferryboat ride was  fun.

Love It

I appreciate the guest post, Vito Rivers

Who in their right mind wouldn’t love to live out here? I’ve got an amazing view of the mountains and a hot tub on the porch – it’s pretty much the perfect life if you ask me. I bought this place as a vacation home a few years back and it eventually turned into my fulltime property but I don’t mind being so far out since it’s so nice to be secluded out here. I had to get SatelliteSTARINTERNET.COM/ internet and find someone to come up once a month and mow the little strip of grass we have but besides that there aren’t too many issues I’ve had to deal with. 

I love living along and I really like being so far out – I guess I’m truly mountain man at heart! I do miss the extra income from renting this place out but it’s totally worth it in the long run since I was able to sell my townhome in the city. I love living in nature and I totally think this was the right decision for me.

Friend for Keeps - Nostalgia # 66

Three years ago, I visited a blog that was being featured at Social Spark. The advertiser picked her entry as one of the  best for the posts that were submitted. I got curious so I went to her blog.  The blog was very dark in color but I  love the content.  I can feel the sincerity of the author while I was reading her posts.  That was the start of our "getting to know each other" online.  I am glad that she did not  got mad when I asked her if she would consider changing the color of her blog.

What I like about this  sweet lady is that, she would tell you things from her heart.  A true friend can tell you  everything, even if it could hurt your feelings because that is what  real friendship is all about.  I found that from her, she is a sincere and very down-to-earth person.  So without further ado, here is the lovely  lady from Texas.

Advance happy birthday to you sis, may all your wishes come true.  I am thrilled to have met you  online and  in person.  You are the kind of  friend for keeps because through thick and thin, you are there.
